"LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan lawmakers have targeted human trafficking with a bill to make it easier for the government to seize property linked to suspected illegal activity.\nThe legislation passed the state House passed 93-13 Tuesday. It allows for the forfeiture of homes, cash and other assets in home invasion and rape cases and aims at human trafficking cases.\nThe bill lets law enforcement take property and not give notice of forfeiture for 28 days. The current deadline is seven days.\nSupporters say changes in the law would give police more time to investigate intricate human trafficking cases. Critics say innocent people could go a long time without the use of a car and house while wondering if police will return the items or seek forfeiture.\nThe legislation now goes to the Senate.\nÂ© Copyright 2014 The Associated Press.
